Eyedropper tool picking up colours but not typeface

Question

Hi there! I noticed today that my eyedropper tool is picking up the colour of the typeface but not the actual typeface or font itself. All boxes are checked under the Eyedropper Options menu. I'm running version 29.0 on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) ioS Montery version 12.7.6

Thanks!

Is your Preferences > Type > Type Object Selection by Path Only checked? If so, you need to point the eyedropper to the baseline of text you are attempting to pickup, otherwise it will just get the colour.
